A Stormy Riverfest 2012

With its own "Idol" talent contest, car show, featured performers and more, this year's "Riverfest" in Saint Albans, WV, was terrific. Unfortunately, some of the activities had to be cut short due to the major storm that struck West Virginia on Friday afternoon. All we knew at the time was that we had major wind damage. We later learned that a "Derecho" or straight line wind blew through most of the state and over half a million customers lost their electric service.
